To modify a master page:

1.

Double-click a master page icon on the Document Layout palette or choose a master page icon from the Go-to-page pop-up menu at the bottom of the document window.

2.

Add or modify any master item—header, footer, line, ruler guide, picture box, or what have you. You can drag any item from a library onto a master page. You can't enter text into an automatic text box.

Pages to which the master has already been applied will be modified. See “Keep or Delete Changes?” starting on page 232.

3.

To redisplay a document page, double-click a document page icon on the Document Layout palette or choose a document page number from the Go-to-page pop-up menu.

TIP

If Automatic Text Box was turned on in the New Document dialog box when the document was created, an automatic text box will appear on the default Master A and on any document pages to which Master A is applied. Text can't be entered into the automatic text box on a master page, but text can be entered into any other text box on a master page. You can reshape the auto text box .

Figure 2. These are the left and right master pages for this book. The automatic text box on each page was resized to fit into one column to make room for illustrations, and the number of columns in the box was reduced to one.
